  1. An acquaintance is concerned for his older friend who wants to get married and asked me some questions which I cannot answer. I would appreciate some help. Is a pre nuptial agreement legal in Thailand and can it be effectively enforced? If his wife has debt before marriage can the lender legally come after him for repayment? Ditto any debt after marriage? The same again if her children have debts. The only advice I have offered so far is that if he is worried about this he should ask himself why he is getting married and that he should only bring to Thailand what he can afford to lose.

  3. I want to have some casual style shirts made before I leave in March. Can anyone recommend where to buy lightweight cotton cloth in various colours? Ditto a seamstress or tailor? I'd prefer not to use the ubiquitous Indian tailors unless they come highly recommended having had some not so good experiences in the past. I remember seeing an open fronted shop full of cloth which I passed on a baht bus can't remember where it was.
  4. I wonder why the authorities aren't taking the opportunity to deepen the reservoir? Also I have heard that the smell of dead mussels etc. isn't very pleasant.
  5. I'm Billy No Mates who rarely posts as I am a boring old fart.
  6. The drop in level of Lake Mabprachan in the last month should be of great concern to the PWA. I was told that it is now possible for a non swimmer to cross from one side to the other. If anyone wants to take pictures of storks and heron now is a good time to come out as there are many of them catching fish in the now shallows.
  7. Man flu can be bad but do you remember all the fuss over bird flu?
  8. FFS why didn't someone wake me up? Superrich Thailand website is 39.35 and I arrive in 30 odd hours...keep creeping up paaleesssse. P.S. I'm looking good for an 88 year old....555
  9. I have just asked Tezza Zacharides who posts the Retox menu on Facebook is the kitchen at Lengkee was closed and his reply was "for the time being we’re just ironing a few things out"
  10. For proper motivation you need to find the time that the local young women exercise, 17.00 is a good time to look. Nothing drags you along like following a cute bum jiggling in tight shorts.
  11. In Udon there are any number of Thai pubs and clubs which are a lot more fun than Soi Sleaze and the Cow Shed. Soi Phibun has a some good bars and 1 club and there are a couple of good bars on the north west side of Nong Prajak park. Soi Si Somchuen has some lively restaurants and bars. Clubs such as Rhythm in the Napalai Hotel, Phoenix, Yellow Bird in the Charoen hotel, Tawan Daeng at the back of Central Plaza, Kongsiam Cafe for live music, 20UP a Thai beer garden.
  12. I recently looked at a hotel on Soi 19 on Booking. com and then went there in person. I was told at reception that they were full but I could book a room online with Booking.com which was also 50% cheaper than the walk in rate.
  13. On my latest exit through terminal 4 at Heathrow I had all my electronics out of my carry on case ready. I was told to go right to the end and on arrival I was told to put them all back in my carry on as the new style scanners were being tested.
  14. Spot the difference? Her tattoo has changed sides.
  15. I am English so ranked #9 but on my last trip I walked the length of Soi Chaiyapoon and didn't get a single word spoken to me. I must be in some state.
  16. Being the cynical bastard that I am...an almost immediate rematch. So was this fixed to tempt Wilder or Fury in to accepting a match?
  17. Apparently Jack Reynolds has written 51 books. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/121130.Jack_Reynolds This link has a synopsis of A Sort of Beauty https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6648825-a-sort-of-beauty If you search the net there are a few places selling copies of this book.
  18. My experience of the Oman evening flight is that the occupancy on the LHR - MCT leg to be 90% full and the MCT -BKK leg 70%. I am a silver card member but have yet to offered an upgrade.
  19. I haven't been to Ruen Thai for about 10 years but I think I recognise a few of those dancers...bless em
  20. Steve from Yeovil here. 4 weeks until I land in BKK so I am wishing my life away at the moment.
